Fertilize Chrysanthemums and Salvia with a liquid plant food. You will be rewarded with blooms later in the fall.

Now is the time to divide Monkey Grass, Iris, and Daylily while the weather is still warm.

Make plans to where you will place your Tropical Hibiscus this winter. Place in a sunny window.

Preserve excess basil leaves by pureeing in a blender with ¼ cup of water. Pour the mixture in ice trays and use the cubes in your wintertime Italian dishes.

Spring-flowering bulbs should be on sale. Plan to plant in mid October or when the weather cools to the 60’s or below.

Start planning where you will place your Tropical Plants that spent the summer outdoors. Trim back if necessary and inspect for insects. Spray with appropriate insecticide if needed. I like to use horticulture oil on my houseplants because the spray will give your houseplants a nice shine to them.

Are you planning a fall vegetable garden? With the cooler weather vegetable starts such as Broccoli, Collards. Cabbage, Tomatoes, Peppers, and Snow Peas are good choices.

The last week in September is the time to replace your mulch under your Roses and Red Tip Photinia to prevent diseases on next year’s leaves.

Prune Tropical Hibiscus you plan to bring indoors. Plan to place your plant in the sunniest window during the winter months. Trim back to fit your location indoors and place your Hibiscus inside around December or before first frost. After pruning check your Hibiscus for insects and spray with appropriate insecticide.

Remove faded blooms and seedpods on your Crepe Myrtles. You maybe rewarded with more blooms before first frost.

To stimulate new growth on your Roses fertilize with one tablespoon of 10-10-10 and with the upcoming cooler weather coming soon will bring fall blooms.

Trim back faded annuals and fertilize with a liquid plant food. In about two weeks you should be rewarded with more blooms to enjoy.

Lawn Mower Blades should be sharpened once each summer. A sharpened lawn mower blade prevents shredding the grass and giving your lawn a nice, clean cut.

Blackberry and Raspberry plants at this time of year have a tendency to trail along the ground. Take the trailing canes and tie them back to their arbor.
